Adventures in baking/cooking

Fresh Rolls

So easy to make and makes a delicious snack or even meal!

I purchased rice paper (which is easy to come by, you can even find it at No frills) and vermicelli for the rolls.

I filled them with (imitation) crab, thinly sliced red pepper, and romaine lettuce.

The rice paper comes dry, so you have to moisten it with a wet tea towel for one minute before you place the filler ingredients in. Then they are very easy to roll up.

To go with these rolls, I made my own peanut sauce with: peanut butter, fish oil, sesame oil, honey, chili sauce (the spicy one),and soy sauce.
